Summary:

This is a poem I wrote on December 4th, 2018 for a school project, uploading only today because I'm a dummy who doesn't share my creations to people until I realize at the last moment 🥲🙃

Work Text:

In the dark, silent and waiting,

Nervous, body trembling,

I am subjected to the bidding

Of a twisted, sadistic being

 

Chained and shackled, sitting on a chair

He’s keeping me under his crooked stare

Through the pain, I shoot a glare

But he wryly smiles and says “you wouldn’t dare”

 

Day and night he bled me dry,

There is no more hope but I couldn’t cry,

Even as my sinews have been torn to shreds,

Even as my life is hanging by a thread

 

One thousand - all my fingers he’s cutting

Nine hundred ninety-three - my bones he’s breaking

And at nine hundred and eighty-six

These are no longer just bruises and nicks

 

Nine hundred seventy-nine,

Is my body still mine?

Nine hundred seventy-two,

I feel myself hollowing through

 

Nine hundred sixty-five, I’m feeling myself dive

Nine hundred fifty-eight - I know he wouldn’t wait

To bring me back before I’m gone - nine hundred fifty-one

Because - nine hundred forty-four - that would be no fun

 

Nine hundred thirty-seven,

In my ear there’s scraping of an insect’s skin

Nine hundred thirty,

I’m hearing voices but no one I see

 

Nine hundred twenty-three - I’m seeing Yakumo Oomori

Nine hundred sixteen - in blood he’s bathing in

Nine hundred nine - "I’m no longer wasting time"

Nine hundred two - "a ghoul’s coming for you"
